Name: Malachi MacDougall

Gender: Male

Species: River Otter

Weapons: Malachi carries a sling and stones and a well-balanced, razor-keen claymore with otter runes carved into both sides of the blade, running from hilt to tip flanking the blood channel that spell out: "justicia quod veneratio" on the right, on the left the runes read "tutor verum." He forged his blade himself in the fires of Salamandastron many seasons ago by the last badger lord to hold the title.

(Latin translations: Justicia quod veneratio: "justice and honor" Tutor verum:  "defender of truth")

Appearance: Rather lean and rangy for an otter, Malachi has been known to joke in his Highland brogue, "Ah've got hare bluid en mah family." His eyes are a piercing steel gray and his fur a dark brown. He usually wears a tan tunic and a knee-length kilt in his clan's colors, red, green, navy blue and white; as well as rough leather armor and a claymore sheath thrust through a belt he wears from left shoulder to his right waist over his back.

He's also been known to occasionally wear a simple, strong cord around his neck with a tiny wooden figure of three carved otters on it, two big ones standing together holding a little one. .

Background: Malachi's a loyal, honest beast with a warm personality, he's extremely hard-working, outgoing, reserved and brings out the best in others. He was born to a pair of wandering rovers, Aengus and Moira MacDougall. In his own words: "Ah kenned war at a young age, mah Da fell under the blades of seascum when ah was boot a wee bairn." The pair was attacked by searats, Aengus giving his life so Moira could escape with Malachi. Moira managed to get her infant son to Redwall despite two arrows in her back, slip the pendant she was wearing around his neck and hand him into safe paws before she died. He was raised as an Abbeybeast from that point on.

Position: Skipper of Otters
